Quote by Maurice Maeterlinck
We are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them.
Summary
This quote suggests that our true selves or personalities are revealed when we are alone, rather than when we are in the presence of others. Even when we are in intimate or vulnerable situations with others, there is a distinct difference between our behavior when we are alone and when we are with others. It implies that alone time allows for a deeper level of introspection and self-reflection, where our authentic selves are most evident, regardless of whether we are alone in a literal or figurative sense.
